I did this once, way back when all I had was a single DLT drive and no autoloader. I would just leave the drive empty all week, and on Friday mornings I would pop that week's tape in then amflush everything to tape. When that was done, I would place the weekend tape in the drive and the full dumps on Saturday night would go direct to tape, or, if I forgot, end up on the holding disk for amflushing Monday morning. This worked quite well IMO for the small environment I had at the time.
